Outlook 2011 for Mac - version 14.2.4 (fully udpated) - on Lion. 
 
When I try to search for an email message using Spotlight, I get "No Results". Have tried the various solutions in this forum, none of which work. Specifically, tried to force a reindex by copying the identity into Spotlight Preferences - Privacy tab, so that I could then remove it. Got the following error message: "The item couldn't be added or removed because of an unknown error."

Not sure if this makes a difference but Outlook is tracking more than 2000 folders across 3 email accounts, and tens of thousands of messages. But my main Inbox is under 100 messages.
I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials 2011 because my Live Mail would not start..got error 0x8007000E and it said my calendar was corrupted. Then installed Live Essentials 2012 and get the same error message. Also got error 0X80040609.  What can I do?

I've been able to send and receive email messages without problems since I started using Windows Live Mail over a year ago.  However, when trying to send one message a couple days ago, the send message task failed and I received an error message saying it was unable to send this one specific email message because "the setting for your outgoing email [SMTP] server might need to be configured."  "Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC79".   No changes have been made to any of my previous settings, including server authentication.  I'm able to send & receive all other messages.  This message errors out every time I send/receive mail.  How can I remove this error message and/or stop trying to send this email message when I send/receive messages?

it says Calendar contains corrupt data. The program won't open and uninstalling it and reinstalling does not help. Suggestions please.
Any idea how to log on onto Hotmail? Have tried different computers, different browsers, have changed my password but still no luck... The error message that I get reads (in Dutch): " An error occured, we can't log you on tight now. Please try later"

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks,

I download the update; it goes through the process of installing until it gets to the "Live Mail" component and then is comes up with an error message  #0X80040701 and says it can't install mail because I have A NEWER VERSION ALREADY INSTALLED???? What is that all about??
I access my virgin media e'mails through Windows Live Mail.
I am not able to delete these messages (and some of them are spam)
Message is saying IMAP{ provider is not allowing me to delete them.
I have over 10000 messages which are undeletable.
Virgin Media will only help if they are accessed through Outlook express

I keep getting a message in outlook saying: Character not allowed in mailbox name: '.'    It pops up every few minutes and i can't seem to resolve it, and it is getting really disruptive. It is linked to an IMAP email account i have with my old university set to download into outlook. Does anyone know how i can resolve this?

When you send this message these pictures will not be included. Are you sure you want to send this message?" This happens qiute often but not all the time.
